Chapter 3, Problem 31.15P
Summary Introduction
To explain: The meaning of “deduce the inheritance of these
Introduction: The phenotype is a physical trait expressed by a particular genotype, while genotype is a piece of genetic information that controls the production of a particular phenotype. Both phenotypes and genotypes of an organism are dependent on each other.

In a woman who is a carrier of a mutant OTC deficiency allele, her sons who receive the mutant allele will be affected and her daughters will be carriers who may or may not be symptomatic, depending on random X inactivation in the liver.
1) Is this a single gene inheritance or multifactorial disease?
2) Is there a strong genetic or environmental cause to the development of this disease? If both genetic and environmental causes are implicated, you have to indicate each of them separately.

- Familial retinoblastoma, a rare autosomal dominant defect, arose in a large family that had no prior history of the disease. Consider the following pedigree (the darkly colored symbols represent affected individuals): a. Circle the individual(s) in which the mutation most likely occurred. b. Is the person who is the source of the mutation affected by retinoblastoma? Justify your answer. c. Assuming that the mutant allele is fully penetrant, what is the chance that an affected individual will have an affected child?arrow_forwardWhich members of the pedigree could have been carriers, and which might have been the source of the mutation?arrow_forwardWhy Phenotypes may show variations in penetrance and expressivity?arrow_forward
- What is the mode of inheritance of this pedigree and why?arrow_forwardFor a particular gene, homozygous dominant AA and heterozygous Aa individuals produce green pigment, while homozygous recessive aa individuals produce yellow pigment. During the course of your research you discover the a1 allele that contains a class IlI transposon insertion. Allele A is dominant to a1. Which genotype is capable of producing a mixture of green and yellow pigment?arrow_forwardMic2 is a gene present on both the X and Y chromosome of humans. Suppose a mutant form, mic2, results in an abnormal surface antigen. Assume that it is possible to identify heterozygous and homozygous individuals. If you had a large enough pedigree, could one differentiate between autosomal and pseudoautosomal inheritance? Explain.arrow_forward
- This pedigree traces the inheritance of a trait in humans. Based on this pedigree, is the allele for this disease dominant or recessive? Is it sex-linked? Explain. What genotypes are most probable for the individuals labeled 4, 7, and 10?arrow_forwardUniparental disomy (UPD) occurs when both chromosomes of a pair or areas from one chromosome in any individual have been inherited from a single parent. Since chromosomal numbers remain the same, cytogenetic analysis will not detect them. Hence, UPD disorders were not described until recently since molecular analysis is required to show that the two chromosomes originated from the same parent. Read recently published literature regarding UPD, and answer the following questions: What are the mechanisms that lead to UPD? Give at least 3 examples of UPD disorders and their clinical consequences: UPD Disorder OMIM # Locus Type of UPD Phenotype (include images) 1 2 3arrow_forwardWhat is the Characteristic pedigree for mitochondrial disease?arrow_forward
